Chapter 390: It's Difficult
The northwest is in crisis, the two capitals are nervous, the thieves in the north and south of the river are rampant, Yang Xuangan of Liyang is difficult to ride a tiger, and at this moment, the general of the Zuo Imperial Guard and the Duke of Jianchang, who is far away in the camp of the Donglai Water Division in Qilu, Li Zixiong, the bigwig who is famous in the military and political circles of China and Turkey, has finally come to the end of his life, he is about to be arrested, and it is the holy lord who is far away in Liaodong who ordered his arrest.
The four commanders of the water division, Lai Hu'er, Zhou Fashang, Li Zixiong and Cui Junsu, belong to the three major political groups of Guanlong, Shandong and Jiangzuo, and Lai Hu'er and Zhou Fashang, who are also Jiangzuo people, have their own interests and priorities, and they can't talk about one heart, so when the holy lord issued this holy decree, he also took a lot of thought, worried about accidents, worried that Li Zixiong was dying and struggling, if Li Zixiong instigated the rebellion of the king of Qi or led the civil strife of the water division, it would be contrary to the original intention of the holy lord, so the holy lord specially wrote a secret edict to Laihu'erto explain the reasons for the arrest of Li Zixiong.
It has been more than a month since the expeditionary force crossed the Liaoshui River, and it is storming Liaodong City, and it is a critical moment, victory is in sight, and the reason for the sudden arrest of Li Zixiong at this time is, of course, to ensure the stability of the naval division and ensure that the naval division can cross the sea for an expedition within the scheduled time. However, this reason was not sufficient, it was difficult for Laihu'er to convince the other commanders of the Sailor, and the internal disagreement would bury unpredictable hidden dangers, so the Holy Lord revealed his true intentions in a cryptic way. He was worried that the King of Qi and Li Zixiong would join forces to sabotage the Second Eastern Crusade, and at present, the King of Qi had defeated the Qilu rebels and controlled most of the Qilu region.
This is clearly a "bureau". At the end of last year, the Holy Lord was forced by the disadvantage of the political zhì and had to make a compromise with the political forces with the King of Qi as the king, let Li Zixiong come back, and arranged Li Zixiong's father and son together in the Qilu area, which fully met the requirements of the king of Qi. At that time, many people didn't understand, thinking that the Holy Lord had "bowed" to King Qi, but now the truth is revealed, the Holy Lord did not "bow his head", but had the intention of killing, and set up a "bureau" to kill Li Zixiong once and for all. Li Zixiong is powerful in the military and political worlds, his protégés and disciples are all over the government and the opposition, and he has a deep foundation in the two capitals and the region of Guanlong, and it is difficult for the Holy Lord to kill him without absolute certainty, and this time the Holy Lord seized the opportunity to plan and arrange Li Zixiong in the water division, trying to use the huge power of Jiang Zuoren and the water division to kill people with a knife, and kill with one blow.
However, Li Zixiong is not an ordinary magnate after all, he is a veteran figure in the military and political circles of China and Turkey, with great achievements, in terms of military circles alone, his status and prestige are far beyond Lai Hu'er and Zhou Fashang, as for Cui Junsu, except for the unattainable family, the others cannot be compared with Li Zixiong, so if Li Zixiong dies at the hands of the three of them, the problem will be strict.
This is not a matter of life and death for Li Zixiong alone, but a matter related to the core interests of the three major aristocratic groups of Guanlong, Shandong, and Jiangzuo. Li Zixiong can die at the hands of the Guanlong people, but he must not die at the hands of the Shandong people and the Jiangzuo people, this is the political bottom line of the Guanlong people, after all, the Guanlong people are the largest ruling class in Middle-earth today, and they are the vested interest groups that have the most power and wealth in Middle-earth. Even the entire Guanlong aristocratic group may disappear, so this head cannot be opened, this wind cannot be long, and this bottom line must not be broken.
In other words, the Holy Lord's reason is still not enough, and it is obviously not convincing to arrest Li Zixiong on the basis of speculation, suspicion, and trumped-up charges, and if the Holy Lord kills Li Zixiong in the future, of course Guan Long people can't find the Holy Lord to take revenge, and can only vent their anger on the three people of Lai Hu'er, Zhou Fashang and Cui Junsu, then these three people are too wronged.
In fact, whether it is Li Zixiong himself, or Lai Hu'er, Zhou Fashang and Cui Junsu, they have already predicted this day, predicted this holy decree, and predicted that both sides will be in trouble because of this, and they are worried about the extinction of life and death, so during the three-way anti-thief attack on Qi County, Zhou Fashang and Cui Junsu tried every means to "drive" Li Zixiong, and even did not hesitate to openly tear their faces to "drive" Li Zixiong, trying to nip the future crisis in the bud, but to the surprise of Zhou Fashang and Cui Junsu, Li Zixiong actually came back, Knowing that he was worried about his life and still sacrificing himself to die, it is really surprising and even more headache-inducing.
They can't help but obey the edict of the Holy Lord, but if they obey the edict and arrest Li Zixiong, in the future, the Guanlong people will blame the three of them for Li Zixiong's tragic killing, and the three of them will inevitably suffer the crazy revenge from the Guanlong aristocratic group, but the strength of the three of them is limited, and if there is no strong support from the Holy Lord, they will definitely not be able to withstand the stormy political "attack". So the crux of the matter is here, at that moment, will the Holy Lord sacrifice them, or will he support them? Before there was a clear answer to this key question, the three of them did not dare to gamble desperately, after all, they were not alone, and their life and death also involved the vital interests of many people.
Lai Hu'er secretly summoned Zhou Fashang and Cui Junsu, put the Holy Lord's holy decree and the Holy Lord's secret edict on the table, and let Zhou Fashang and Cui Junsu study it carefully.
What should I do about this? The edict cannot be violated, people must be arrested, but what should be done after the arrest? Li Zixiong is a "hot potato", no one can catch it in his hands, and he must consider the consequences of this. The Holy Lord is also a smart person, and he also played a trick, he wanted to borrow a knife to kill people, leaving a way out for himself, and the reason for leaving a way out for himself was very simple, the strength of the Guanlong people was too strong, and they were not sure of winning in a head-on battle, so they pushed the three of them to the front, to put it bluntly, they were sacrifices, as for whether they were really sacrificed, it depended on the development of the situation, and it depended on whether they were lucky.
The Holy Lord gambled on luck, and the three of them didn't dare to gamble, so they didn't shy away from coming to Hu'er, and said bluntly, "The three of us must work together on this matter, otherwise we will ......." This matter is too serious, he doesn't dare and can't make decisions alone, it is related to the interests of the three people and the three forces, and he can't make decisions, if Zhou Fashang and Cui Junsu don't support him, or even pull his hind legs behind his back, he will be "sacrificed".
Zhou Fashang's expression was stern, and he didn't say a word.
Lai Hu'er looked at Zhou Fashang, the two looked at each other, and then looked at Cui Junsu at the same time with a very tacit understanding.
Cui Junsu was nervous, and he couldn't help but speak. Zhou Fa didn't speak, probably on behalf of his support for Lai Hu'er, after all, they are all Jiangzuo people, they have common interests with each other, and of course they advanced and retreated together at the critical moment. Cui Junsu didn't want to arrest Li Zixiong, and he didn't want to ask for trouble, but he couldn't say this, the Holy Lord had issued an edict, and if he openly violated the will of the Holy Lord, it would be even more troublesome.
"At the beginning of the month, the Lu army was annihilated on the bank of Bianshui, and Li Zhijun's life and death were uncertain, and Jianchang heard the news, and he was sad and depressed." Cui Junsu paused, looked at Laihu'er and Zhou Fashang, and barely squeezed out a smile, "So, at this moment, if you follow the edict ......" Cui Junsu pointed to the holy decree on the case, and stopped talking. His meaning is very straightforward, arresting Li Zixiong at this moment is morally untenable, no matter what Li Zixiong's result is in the future, they will be blamed, and the "notoriety" can be regarded as a backfall.
Laihu'er didn't speak, just snorted coldly to show his dissatisfaction. Cui Junsu had a clear attitude that he did not support the arrest of Li Zixiong, but in fact he pushed it off and refused to participate in the decision-making.
Zhou Fashang frowned slightly, Yan Sù's expression softened slightly, and seemed to agree with Cui Junsu's statement, but he couldn't stand on the opposite side of Laihu'er, if Laihu'er was "sacrificed", the overall interests of Jiangzuo people would be damaged.
"The edict must not be violated, and people will definitely be arrested." Zhou Fashang said meaningfully, "But the prestige of Jianchang Gong is very high, if he is publicly arrested, it will shake the sailors, and the army's heart will be chaotic, and the consequences will be unpredictable." ”
Come to protect the child if you have an understanding.
Cui Junsu was secretly happy in his heart, well, with Zhou Fashang's words, things will be easy to do. You have a good plan, I have a wall ladder, it depends on who has the best means.
"People are easy to detain, but what should I do after I am detained?" Cui Junsu asked.
Laihu'er's face changed again, and her eyes were cloudy. Although the edict said that after arresting Li Zixiong, he would be escorted to the Liaodong Palace and interrogated by the Holy Lord himself, but if Laihu'er really did this, Laihu'er's career would end here. Since the wisdom of the protector's government, he must be able to understand the mind of the Holy Lord, but he considers his own interests, but is unwilling to solve problems for the Holy Lord, so why should the Holy Lord favor you and give you power and wealth?
Zhou Fashang glanced at Cui Junsu and said quietly, "The edict said to escort the palace." ”
Laihu'er's face was even more ugly.
Cui Junsu's eyes narrowed slightly, pretending to think.
Zhou Fashang hesitated for a moment and continued, "Now that thieves are rampant in Qilu and thieves are also rampant in Hebei, it will still be quite difficult to escort Li Zixiong to the palace safely from Route 6. ”
Coming to Hu'er to have an epiphany, he hesitated at first, and then showed a resolute look in his eyes, he had no choice, he had no choice, he wanted to protect himself, and he couldn't offend the Holy Lord, so he had to follow Zhou's strategy.
Cui Junsu's eyes showed a cunning look, and the corners of his mouth showed a trace of laugh lines, Zhou Fashang was really old and treacherous, this trick was used well, without showing traces, and it was wonderful.
That night, he came to Hu'er to pass on Li Zixiong, and the holy lord had an edict, and the commander was in charge of the military discussion.
Li Zixiong was on high alert when he returned to Donglai, and at all times he had at least a team of heavily armed guards by his side, and he maintained close contact with his trusted cronies and subordinates in case of accidents. Hearing that the Holy Lord had come to the edict, a sense of foreboding suddenly came to his heart, and Li Zixiong hesitated, to go, or not to go?
